Which World Cup Game Is Best?

The classic office draw. Print the teams, fold them up, drop them in a mug. Everyone pays in, everyone pulls one out, and your fortune is decided in a single moment.

• Luck of the draw — no skill, no decisions, no comeback.
• Draw Brazil or France and you're cheering for ninety minutes a week.
• Draw New Zealand and you're out before the knockouts begin.
• Brilliant icebreaker for the office. Not much of a competition.

You predict every match — home win, draw, or away win — across the entire tournament. Points stack up as the World Cup unfolds and the best football brain wins.

• Knowledge matters. Form, lineups, momentum — they all count.
• Every fixture is a fresh chance to score.
• One bad call doesn't ruin your tournament.
• Perfect for opinionated fans who watch every game.

Pick one team each round. Group stage picks must win. Knockout picks only need to progress, even through extra time or penalties. Each team can only be used once. Back a loser, run out of teams, or miss a round and you're out.

• High tension every single matchday.
• Reading the schedule is as important as reading the form.
• Last supporter standing wins.
• Brutal, addictive, and the most fun in a group chat.

If you want fairness and skill, run a predictor. If you want drama and a clear endgame, run a survivor. If you just want to give everyone a team on launch day, run a sweepstake on the side.
